a) I have just reread the Trust document.

b) The Trust makes no provision for By-Laws.

c) If and when modifications are required, the Trust can be and should be amended.

d) Nathaniel or Sabine, or any other family members should NEVER make ANY monetary contribution to the Trust, even that minimum required to establish a bank account, so that each of them will remain free to receive payments for services rendered to the Trust. Please note Section Fifth of the Trust.

e) Assets of the Trust from ticket sales or from donations by non-family members will be available to pay Nathaniel a salary for his services as conductor or as trumpet teacher.

f) Hypothetically non-family donations to the Trust could be used to pay Nathaniel not only for his services as a conductor but also for trumpet lessons rendered by the Trust pro bono to students unable to pay for them.

g) With respect to establishment of a bank account, after a Tax ID number had been obtained, I would suggest negotiating with the bank about the minimum amount needed for opening an account, and defer such opening until the required amount had been received in donations.  Alternatively, I myself could lend the Trust the required amount without impairing the future elegibility of other family members to receive from the trust remuneration for their services.
